MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
No detail goes unnoticed at this contemporary Swedish beauty, sporting a sleek bar and open kitchen with Chef Emma Bengtsson at the helm.
Enjoy the eponymous infused spirit along with bites from one of two tasting menus. Expect glazed earthenware, slate platters and wooden boxes cradling the likes of matjes herring, subtly smoked and matched with wafer-thin rye toast, cured egg yolk and a hint of pear. Perfectly poached lobster may arrive with ribbons of celeriac, black trumpet mushrooms and toasted hazelnuts; while the brightly hued sea trout crowned with savory roe and sweet apple elements is soigné. Simplicity is the peak of elegance in desserts, like the lemon mousse with black currants and crème fraîche.
